Our Omega, My Alphas

Hidden Truths

Taehyung never expected to see his best friend bonding with Jungkook, nor had he anticipated sharing a bonding experience with Jimin. It was an act that he considered very intimate and sacred. He had heard of pack bonding before from his father, but he thought it was a myth, a fairytale. Yet, what he just witnessed a few seconds ago wasn't a dream, or a fairytale, it was reality. Maybe the actions that transpired a few seconds ago were a sign that Jimin and Jungkook were going to be part of his family from now on? It would make sense, since Yoongi was so attached to Jimin and he was head over heels for Jungkook.

"So... Now that we bonded, what happens?" Jimin asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement. But Taehyung didn't know how to answer the Omega's question. Living together would be an interesting experience, but he knew it wasn't that easy. First, to live in a packhouse, as the government called it, they needed to apply for a residence large enough for more than four people, but a minimum of seven members needed to be part of the pack to qualify, and they were only four. Second, there had to be at least one mated pair in the group, or the government would see the pack as unproductive since there would not be any way for their bloodline to expand. And the truth was that they were both a same-sex couple—- it would be impossible to apply.

Everything would be favorable if they had other people in their lives who wanted to be part of their pack, but bonding with others was not easy, nor was trusting them.

"You know it's not that simple... For all of us to live together. Let's forget about it. We just bonded and you want us to be together all the time. Well, we kinda are, since Tae and I spend most of our free days here," Yoongi intervened, walking back to the couch, probably too embarrassed by his actions from earlier, but also not wanting to get his hopes up. Being a pack meant they all had to rely on each other, emotionally and financially, which indicated that each member had a vital role in the group. However, they were all college students, working on side jobs just to get by and the idea of a packhouse was just a dream, too far away from their reach.

"B-but Yooonie! We can try! I don't want our bond to fade away," Jimin whined, sitting next to Yoongi who welcomed the Omega with open arms. Taehyung grabbed Jungkook's hand and guided him to the same small couch, that was too small for four people, but somehow, they squeezed themselves into the soft cushions of the sofa.

"I don't think our bond will break that easily, Minnie," Jungkook spoke as the Alpha played with Taehyung's hair. Taehyung loved the feeling of his boyfriend's fingers on him; it made him feel cherished and protected. He just relaxed into the touch and listened to the conversation, ready to chip in when he fitted necessary.

"You think?"

"Of course, creating a bond is not easy. We have to trust each other and have a special relationship, be it platonic or romantic, for it to happen. Why would the Moon Goddess make it so difficult for us to bond, only for the bond to easily break? It wouldn't make sense, would it?"

"I guess that's true, but I really like the idea of us living together."

"Me too," Taehyung finally said, looking at Jimin with confidence in his eyes. Maybe one day, they could make their dream come true. If they were meant to be together, as a pack, the Moon Goddess would definitely make it happen.

"See, I'm not the only one. Yoooongiii! Please. Make it happen, for me?" Jimin begged, moving Yoongi's body side to side like a child asking their parents for a new toy. In some ways, Taehyung also wanted to ask his boyfriend to make it happen, but he knew it was a difficult task to accomplish.

"We could even get Jinnie and Hoseok? Pleeeaaassse!?" Jimin added, and Taehyung perked up by the name he just heard and was so curious about earlier today. Then, he remembered that he wanted to ask Jimin about the mysterious Omega, Jinnie, whom his boyfriend claimed was so gorgeous, and out of this world.
